A centralized service for locating another centralized (e.g., .NET) service and obtaining information for communicating with that other service. The myServices service includes a schema (e.g., XML-based) that describes the available services for a given identity and returns information in a response document formatted according to the schema. The information may include a URI indicating where the requested service logically resides, as well as additional information used to identify the identity/service in general communication, e.g., the service may also return an identity license, or the information needed (e.g., a service principal name and realm information) to obtain an identity license. The recipient, such as an application program, uses the returned URI and/or identity license to communicate with the desired service. The response document may alternatively provide data that refers the application program to another myServices instance. Extensibility is defined into the schema.
